sPecsavers AND THE CANADIAN COUNCIL OF THE BLIND ANNOUNCE SPONSORSHIP TO CHAMPION VISION HEALTH

Specsavers, an optometrist-owned and led business is proud to announce that it has become a Participating Gold Sponsor of the Canadian Council of the Blind (CCB), whose mission is to improve the quality of life of people who are blind, deaf-blind or living with low vision through efforts that support individuals and communities.

“We at specsavers are delighted to partner with the canadian council of the Blind, an organization that shares our values, to support their important work, and encourage canadians to take care of their eye health,” said Bill Moir, Managing director of specsavers canada.

“The canadian council of the Blind has an impressive history of advocating for and supporting canadians with vision loss. We are excited about what we can accomplish when our two organizations work together.” ccB’s objectives include promoting measures for the conservation of sight and the prevention of blindness for all. specsavers shares this objective, as demonstrated by its standard of care for patients and the use of advanced technology. specsavers uses optical coherence tomography (Oc T), an advanced 3d eye scan, as part of every patient’s standard eye exam. Oc T helps optometrists see what is occurring beneath the surface of the eye and can detect potentially sight-threatening conditions such as diabetes, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration, leading to treatment and preventative care.

“We are thrilled to announce support from specsavers as we advocate for better quality of life for those with vision loss,” said Jim Tokos, national President of the canadian council of the Blind.
